SUPERLOTTO TICKET HOLDER CLAIMS PRIZE

Ticket worth $11M was sold at San Diego liquor store; retailer to get $55,000 bonus

A man who purchased a winning SuperLotto Plus ticket worth $11 million came forward Friday in San Diego to claim his prize, state lottery officials said.

The ticket for the Aug. 10 drawing was sold at Golden Hill Liquor on B Street, near 27th Street.

Lottery officials identified the winner as Daniel Lindsey.

Lindsey purchased a $5 quick-pick ticket. The last of its five plays matched the winning numbers of 5, 7, 14, 44, 46 and the mega number, 27.

Lindsey can receive annual payments or one lump-sum payment of $6.3 million, lottery officials said. The retailer will get a bonus of one-half percent, or $55,000, for selling the winning ticket.

A clerk at the store, who identified himself only as Roni, said Friday night that word had spread quickly about the win, and people were flocking to the store to buy tickets for Saturday’s SuperLotto Plus drawing.

“Hopefully, I’ll get a bonus,” he said of the store’s winnings. “I would pay my bills. I would be happy.”
